Periodic IPAD measure conjectures for 3-class tower groups

An IPAD is the invariant displayed in the source in the form of an abelianization together with the corresponding abelianizations of selected index subgroups. The notation [3k,3k+1][3^k,3^{k+1}] denotes the corresponding pair of cyclic 33-power factors, and the measure is the Cohen–Lenstra-type measure assigned to an IPAD. Periodic IPAD measure conjecture. For every integer k2k\geq2, the following four IPADs have the stated measures:

(a) [[3,3];[3,9]3[3k,3k+1]][[3,3];[3,9]^3[3^k,3^{k+1}]] has measure 512/32k+4512/3^{2k+4};

(b) [[3,3];[3,3,3][3,9]2[3k,3k+1]][[3,3];[3,3,3][3,9]^2[3^k,3^{k+1}]] has measure 512/32k+4512/3^{2k+4};

(c) [[3,3];[3,3,3]2[3k,3k+1]2][[3,3];[3,3,3]^2[3^k,3^{k+1}]^2] has measure 2048/34k+22048/3^{4k+2};

(d) [[3,3];[3,3,3]2[3k,3k+1][3k+1,3k+2]][[3,3];[3,3,3]^2[3^k,3^{k+1}][3^{k+1},3^{k+2}]] has measure 512/34k+2512/3^{4k+2}.

These formulas are conjectured from periodic descendant patterns and would complete the computation of measures of IPADs beginning with [3,3][3,3]; the supplied context gives no proof or resolution.
